Via Cousin Joel"The northern Virginia democrats and
those in the Virginia cities place trash dirt bags like McAuliffe, Warner and
Kaine into office. I would like to see all three socialist communists go
to jail."

What an attractive unattractive pair!

Virginia Democratic Gov. Terry McAuliffe
is the subject of an ongoing investigation by the FBI and prosecutors
from the Justice Department’s public integrity unit, U.S. officials
briefed on the probe say.

…

As part of the probe, the officials said,
investigators have scrutinized McAuliffe’s time as a board member of the
Clinton Global Initiative, a vehicle of the charitable foundation set
up by former President Bill Clinton.

There’s no allegation that the foundation
did anything improper; the probe has focused on McAuliffe and the
electoral campaign donations, the officials said.

Spokespeople for the Justice Department and the FBI declined to comment.

According to the standard narrative maintained by the North,
Lincoln’s 1863 Emancipation Proclamation brought about a new moral aim
that justified a particularly bloody conflict. The act is often
described as a device that would usher in a new age where angelic
Northerners suddenly abandoned their racist past in favor of a fair,
more equitable course for enslaved men. From that point onward, the
story goes, the highest Northern political officials were wholly devoted
to the cause of abolition within the states.

However, written records from this timeframe demonstrate a starkly
divergent reality. Several significant circumstances from 1863-1865
illustrate that the most prominent leaders within the Union government,
including President Abraham Lincoln and Secretary of State William
Seward, were entirely willing to compromise on slavery. This case is
most easily demonstrated by the events leading up to and including the
Hampton Roads Conference of 1865.

The Union’s inclination to offer compromise on the issue of slavery
truly began with the proposed Corwin Amendment of 1861, but resurfaced
in the year prior to the conference. In late 1864, Seward opined that if
the seceded states abandoned their quest for independence, the matter
of slavery would fall entirely to “the arbitrament of courts of law, and
to the councils of legislation.”

This is an entirely man-made catastrophe. Venezuela, by all rights, should be rich. As we just said, it has more oil than the United States or Saudi Arabia or anyone else for that matter. But despite that, economic mismanagement on a world-historical scale has barely left it with enough money to even, well, pay for printing money anymore. That's right: Venezuela is almost too poor to afford inflation. Which is just another way of saying that the government is all but bankrupt.

The leader of the right-wing populist Alternative for Germany (AfD)
party turned heads once again on Sunday by upping her anti-Islam
rhetoric just one day ahead of a planned meeting with the leader of the
Central Council of Muslims in Germany (ZMD).

Speaking with the "Bild am Sonntag" newspaper, Frauke Petry warned that
Muslim immigration to Germany was threatening everything Europe had
accomplished over the last two centuries.

"We can see that the significant achievements of the Enlightenment are
in danger, as long as we continue to pursue this path of unregulated
migration connected to promoting the importance of a religious
radicalism," Petry told the paper.

She went on to accuse Muslims of wishing to implement Sharia law. "When
more than half of Muslims, when in doubt, would give Sharia precedence
over relevant national laws," then "something we can no longer control"
will be at work in the country, Petry said.

Don't mess with Czechs. On 23 May 1618 in Prague began the 30
Years War when Czech protestants tossed three Habsburg governors out a
window -- the Defenestration of Prague. It was NOT a first story
window, and this was not the first time the Czechs had removed
offensive officials by defenestration. They killed seven city council
members that way in 1419.

Now all you squeamish modern
folks will wince at the thought of pitching offending officials out
the window. However, think about it. Think how it would improve the
manners of those defenestrated, and how respectful it would render the
rest, the not-yet-defenestrated. Might work better than a recall
election, and certainly more permanently.

I
opened Twitter recently and saw 20+ notifications. Most of the time
that means the new generation of white nationalist Twitter trolls are
filling my feed with racist and anti-Semitic cartoons. It was the
trolls, but this was different. They were celebrating my use of the word
“anti-white” in a tweet. They saw it as a victory that a “mainstream
conservative” was using this term that for so long has been their
calling card.

They had a point. Until recently I would have been unlikely to use
the term. Not because I didn’t believe some people harbored animosity
towards whites, but because that was a fringe attitude removed from
power, which represented little real threat. That is no longer the case.
Progressive rhetoric on race has turned an ugly corner and the
existence of “anti-white” attitudes can no longer be ignored.

In the past year, all of the following headlines have appeared, in well-read publications:

Via John "First North Carolina earlier this year and now, Virginia. Looks like judicial common sense is breaking out all over. The biggest losers are those who prefer to racialize every issue, everywhere, at all times, to gain political advantage. We know WHO they are."

A federal judge has
upheld Virginia’s voter ID law challenged by the Democratic Party of
Virginia and two voters alleging the Republican-controlled state
legislature enacted it to curb the number of young and minority voters.

“Mindful that the
court’s mission is to judge not the wisdom of the Virginia voter ID law,
but rather its constitutionality, this court cannot say that plaintiffs
have met their burden of proof in showing by a preponderance of the
evidence that the Virginia voter ID law ... contravenes the Voting
Rights Act, the First Amendment, the Fourteenth Amendment, the Fifteenth
Amendment, or the Twenty-Sixth Amendment,” U.S. District Judge Henry E.
Hudson wrote Thursday.

The
judgment, following a five-day bench trial, is the first in the
closely-watched case. Nero, 30, faced four misdemeanor charges of
second-degree assault, reckless endangerment and two counts of
misconduct in office.

Prosecutors had argued that Nero committed an assault by detaining
Gray without justification, while the reckless endangerment charge
related to Nero's role in putting Gray into an arrest wagon without
buckling a seat belt. In closing arguments Thursday, Williams had
skeptically questioned prosecutors about their theory of assault, which
legal experts said was unprecedented.

Oriental doesn't refer to people, but furniture etcetera, Dingdong.

President Barack Obama signed
a bill into law Friday banning the federal government from using the
terms “Negro” and “Oriental,” making the official terms African-American
and Asian-American.

The measure, H.R.4238,
was an amendment to the Local Public Works Capital Development and
Investment Act of 1976 to modernize terms relating to minorities. The
legislation passed unanimously in the House of Representatives and the
U.S. Senate earlier this year.

I believe that the American South, the
last bastion of Christianity in the West, will have a special role in
the final chapter of history.–Anne Wilson Smith

I just may take a tomahawk to the next person who tells me this is a
nation of immigrants. I want them to have the authentic

were.–Conservative Pundit

If a transaction that occurred in the presence of forty or fifty
thousand people can be successfully falsified, then all human testimony
is worthless.–Edwin J. Scott, eyewitness to the sack and destruction of

I have always had a contempt for Sheridan as a military hero, because
he acquired so much renown by accident rather than by courage and
generalship.–Confederate veteran of Cedar Creek battle

Remembrance

To die for one’s country is not only an act of bravery, it is THE act of bravery. For soldiers, it is just an extension of their military career, a part of their duty. As leaders have asked their soldiers to sacrifice themselves for the good of the society, it is only right for leaders to go through the same motion. They should practice what they have preached.

As war is seen as a noble act, tu sat serves as redemption in case of defeat. It is also a way to tell the enemy: “You might have won the battle/war but you don’t deserve to win because you don’t have the chinh nghia (just cause).” And it is not only just cause: it is the moral belief that the cause they are fighting for deserves their total sacrifice.

Requiem Aeternam -
Eternal Rest Grant unto Them
==============================
My second great grandfather was killed in action on May 3, 1863 at the Battle of Chancellorsville.
=============================
My great grandfather and great uncle knew all the men in the "Civil War Requiem" video as they were part of the 53rd NC which was the sole unit defending Fort Mahone. (Fort Mahone was named "Fort Damnation" by the Yankees) *Handpicked men of the 53rd (My great grandfather was one of these) made the final, night assault at Petersburg in an attempt to break Grant's line. This was against Fort Stedman which was a few miles to the slight northeast. They initially succeeded, but reinforcements drove them back. This video is made from photographs which were taken the day after the 53rd evacuated the lines the night before to begin the retreat to Appomattox. I have many more pictures taken by the same photographer, one of these shows a 14 year old boy and the other is the famous picture of the blond, handsome soldier with his musket.
===========================
*General Gordon promised the men a gold medal and 30 days leave if they accomplished their task and many years after the War my great grandfather wrote General Gordon, who was then governor of Georgia about this incident. They exchanged several letters which I have framed. See first link below.
